Jennifer- meconeum when my water broke. They won't allow him to eat. That tube actually runs into his stomach to drain the green bile that he was throwing up. They did an x Ray and didn't see anything. He had a gastrografin enema last night that shows he has a narrow colon ending.
Looking- they actually said that it could be that. They did a biopsy on his intestines, we are waiting for the results on that. What was the outcome for your LO?
Jennifer- he has been pooping a lot since they did the enema. About 10 poopy diapers and they did the enema last night around 9. His tummy was very distended. Before he was transferred to the nicu his stomach was 37 cm around. It's now down to 33 cm but still distended.
Your LO and your family will be in my prayers! Be strong, my son was in the nicu for a week, I know how hard it can be!! Don't forget to take care of yourself, rest as much as possible, and make sure you eat!!
May God bless your little one and guide the doctors who are caring for him. He is absolutely adorable!! May God place a blanket of healing upon your son! ??
UPDATE: They will be taking the tube out of his nose so I can nurse him. We are hoping that he will still poop and not vomit after a feeding and that his stomach doesn't distend again. Still waiting on pathology for results of his biopsy. Please keep praying for us!
My daughter had a blockage in her intestines that caused green bile to build up in her stomach. She had to have surgery at 2 days old and wasn't able to eat. She had to just have an IV. We found out about it while I was still pregnant, so it wasn't a surprise when she was born.
Another update: they took the tube out of his nose and I got to breast feed him for 5 minutes last night. They didn't want him to eat too much because we were testing it out. Just got off the phone with the nurse and he hasn't vomited from the feeding and Is having smears of poop in his diaper. No ropogal (tube in his nose) put back in! All awesome signs!!! Still waiting on the tests from pathology but we should get those back today. All awesome things so far! My little man is strong!!! Thank you for the continued prayers.
Jennifer it was the best feeling ever. I started to cry. They are looking at taking his IV out soon too! He is handling the feedings well so it's a plus
UPDATE: I just spoke with the dr and he has Hirschsprung's disease. They are going to see how he feeds and see if it's possible to do dilation of the rectum to send him home and setup an appt with the dr as an outpatient if it doesn't work well then he will have 2 separate surgeries and they will give him a colostomy bag for a few months till the next surgery.

Are they holding off on feeding for now?
It looks like he may have his feeding tube left open to drain; I see the green fluid in it.
Was there meconium in your water when it broke?
And I'm assuming that they did an abdominal X-Ray?

It could simply be fluid that he ingested during delivery. Try not to stress too much yet!
Does his stomach look distended/swollen at all?
Has he pooped at all since birth?

Lord bless this family and heal their baby, give them strength to get through this storm so they can take their baby home. In Jesus name Amen

It's great that he's pooping. That's a good sign.
Hopefully it's nothing too serious. Keeping you and baby in my prayers.
